“In the heart of Guyana’s Iwokrama Rainforest, a solitary male Guianan Cock-of-the-rock stands proudly at a lek. Distinguished by its vibrant, neon orange plumage, this Cotinga surpasses its Andean counterpart in color intensity. Additionally, it boasts a charming half-moon crest and silky plumes that evoke the allure of a frilly cocktail dress. These remarkable birds rely on the presence of colossal boulders within the forest for their breeding rituals. During the mating season, the males partake in spirited competitive displays, captivating the attention of their more subtly adorned female counterparts.”
